Mitra vs spreadsheets
Beyondthe spreadsheet.
Spreadsheets got you here — versioned files, broken formulas, guest lists pasted into WhatsApp. Mitra replaces the whole folder with one live workspace your team, your vendors, and your couples share.

Why planners switch
What spreadsheets can’t do.
One source of truth
The timeline, budget, guest list, seating chart, and vendor roster are connected — add a vendor once and they appear in the timeline, the budget, and the payment plan. No more re-typing across files.
Share access, not attachments
Couples get a portal, vendors get live share links, assistants get logins with permissions. Everyone sees the current version — because there is only one version.
Numbers that add themselves
Budget vs actual, multi-currency conversion, installments, VAT, overdue flags — calculated for you. No formulas to break the night before the wedding.
Works where spreadsheets don’t
The mobile app is offline-first: your run sheet, checklists, and guest list work at a farm venue with no signal, then sync when you’re back online.
The migration
Bring your spreadsheets with you.
Import what you have
Guest lists and tasks import from CSV, so the work you’ve already done in Excel or Google Sheets comes along.
Set up your system once
Turn your budget structure, timeline formats, and checklists into templates you apply to every new wedding.
Export whenever you want
Everything exports back to CSV or print-ready PDFs. Your data is never locked in.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can I import my existing spreadsheets into Mitra?
Yes. Guest lists and task checklists import from CSV files, so the data you already maintain in Excel or Google Sheets carries over without re-typing.
Can I still export to a spreadsheet?
Yes. Timelines, guest lists, and other modules export to CSV, and key views have print-ready PDF output. Your data stays portable.
Why not just use Google Sheets for wedding planning?
Sheets works until the wedding gets complex: multiple days, dozens of vendors, hundreds of guests, payments in two currencies. Mitra connects those pieces — one change updates the timeline, budget, and payment plan together, with access control and an offline mobile app.
Is Mitra harder to learn than a spreadsheet?
No. Each module looks like the tool you’d have built yourself — tables, boards, and calendars — but pre-connected. Most planners set up their first wedding in under an hour, and templates make every following wedding faster.
